Benefits of technology

[0007]In accordance with another exemplary embodiment, a method for producing zeolite films or membranes at ambient pressure, comprises; preparing a synthesis mixture comprising an ionic liquid solvent and aluminum, and / or silicon, and / or phosphate sources; stirring the synthesis mixture, for example, at an elevated temperature; introducing a substrate; and heating the synthesis mixture and the substrate under conditions sufficient to form a continuous zeolite layer. In certain instances, the synthesis mixture can be stirred for approximately 4 hours (approximately 240 minutes) at 100 ° C. For example, the stirring requires at least 10 min at a temperature of less than 100° C. Exemplary temperature ranges include 80-100° C., 60-100° C., 40-80° C. and 60-80° C. In other instances, the synthesis mixture and the substrate can be heated to approximately 150° C. to form a continuous zeolite layer. In yet other instances, the synthesis mixture and the substrate can be heated for several hours to several days at a temperature from about 100 to 230° C. to form a continuous zeolite layer. Microwave heating can also be applied to this method of synthesizing zeolite films or membranes to accelerate the synthesis process. Surprisingly, the synthesis time can be drastically shortened by microwave heating. For example, in the presence of microwave heating, the synthesis time is from about 5 min to several hours, such as 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours.

Problems solved by technology

Metal corrosion is a widespread problem throughout the industrialized world, causing losses amounting to several percent of the gross domestic product of the typical industrialized country.
Unfortunately, chromate has become more and more stringently regulated since it is highly toxic and carcinogenic.

AEL Coating Synthesis on Aluminum Alloys.

[0047]In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, both AIOPO-11 and SAPO-11 were synthesized on Al alloys. These alumino- and silicoalumino-phosphate zeolites have an AEL-type framework. A synthesis mixture with molar composition: 32[1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide ([emim]Br)]:1[Al(OC3H7)3]:3[H3PO4]:0.8[HF] was pre hours (approximately 240 minutes) at 100° C. For SAPO-11, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was introduced to synthesis mixture with the molar ratio of 0.25Si:1AI. Metal substrates (i.e., AA 2024-T3 substrates) were pretreated by an Alconox detergent solution. The substrates were then fixed vertically inside the synthesis mixture in the Teflon vessel designed for MARS5 (CEM Co.) microwave reaction system. The unsealed vessel (with holes on the cover) was then quickly heated to 150° C. and held at the temperature for 2 hours (approximately 120 minutes) under microwave radiation. After the synthesis, the coated sample was thoroughl...

[0063]MEL PSZ nanocrystal suspension was synthesized in the following way: 9.15 g of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH, 40% aqueous solution, Sachem) and 4.67 g of double deionized (DDI) water were added into 10 g of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS, 98%, Aldrich). The mixture was stirred in a sealed plastic bottle for 24 hr at room temperature, and finally a clear homogeneous solution was formed with the molar composition of 0.3TBAOH:1SiO2:4EtOH:10H2O. The solution was then thermally treated at 80° C. for 2 days with constant stirring in an oil bath (noted as the first stage). Afterwards, a specific amount (varying from 10 wt % to 60 wt %) of solvent was evaporated out by house vacuum at room temperature with stirring. This solution was subsequently transferred to Teflon®-lined autoclaves and kept in a convection oven preheated at 114° C. for 24 hr (noted as the second stage). This synthesis approach is hereby referred to as an evaporation-assisted two-stage synthesis method. For co...

Silane-Zeolite Nanocrystal Coatings

[0067]In accordance with another exemplary embodiment, a 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)methane (BTSM) solution was prepared by adding silane to a DI water and ethanol mixture. The volume ratio of BTSM: DI water: Ethanol was approximately 1:1:20. Acetic acid was then added to adjust the pH of the solution in the range of approximately 4.5 to 5. The solution was then stirred at room temperature for aging at least 24 hours before a MEL suspension was added. MEL concentration in the solution was about 20 ppm (parts per million). Then the nanoparticle-silane mixture was spun on bare AI alloys or SAPO-11 coated AI Alloys at room temperature on a Laurell spin coater. Afterward, the sample was heated at 80° C. overnight and then 200° C. for 30 min (minutes).
